I've exchanged a few emails with Dave, though not recently. I'd be meaning to drop him a line, but sadly that can't happen now.
Our emails weren't long ones, but I came away with the sense of a kind, friendly man. On the board, I noticed he always thanked anyone who bought or commented on Zarjaz, Dogbreath and Futurequake.
A great loss to the board, but a far greater one to his family and friends, to whom my sincere and deep condolences.
Regards,
Robin
